LOL I've argued every point I can think of with them. The whole thing is ludicrous. The stupid thing is, once I sell the cart the merchant can hire me to integrate UPS Tools into their store. This will consist of uploading the custom tag to their server. They told me that they don't accept open source products. If my product wasn't open source, and I would agree to the testing fees, they would consider me. So, I pointed out that some of their vendor's products ARE open source. Then it changed to we are "no longer" accepting open source products. So I told them, OK, I'll encrypt the version with the tools and commit to the testing fees. The it changed to we are not considering new developers for the third party program at this time. As I said. It's blatant discrimination due to the fact that I'm a small business. I think they are being paid off by the other vendors. There are only about 8 or 9 ecommerce providers listed on their site, so getting listed would likely be a tremendous boon to sales. My shopping cart is as good as any, and better than most of the ones they have listed. At 1/10 the cost. -- Bud Schneehagen - Tropical Web Creations _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ ColdFusion Solutions / eCommerce Development [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.twcreations.com/ 954.721.3452 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm
